Well, I have found a gem!! Heather is an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our 5 1/2 year old Goldendoodle TOWNES! She provides excellent care and hugs which every doodle craves . Her notes and pictures really put my mind at ease to leave him at home(which is his favorite place) I’m sure Townes will be looking for HER tomorrow!😉Will definitely have her back and just thrilled to have found someone so caring and competent. THANKS AGAIN AND AGAIN Heather!!!👍❤️

Heather is both professional and easy to work with as a human, and is truly adoptive of my fur kids, as well while spending time with them. My animals absolutely loved spending time with her and she took the time to care for both our geriatric princess and a precocious pup, exactly as they needed. I will definitely be keeping Heather on the short list, the list is exactly one name long. 🙂 10 out of 10 - would hire again!

Heather has been a blessing from above. We have been fortunate to have the same pet sitter for our Penny for years but excitingly she left to further her college degree up North. Picking a new sitter to take care of your family member and be in your home personal areas can be hard. Heather is at most an uplifting character and has the best personality, our Penny loved and warmed up to her instantly during their meet and greet. Heather sent detailed updates with pictures, she was extremely prompt on all four of the drop-ins daily, and took Penny on extra nice walks in our neighbor when the weather was nice for the day to get her outside more for some more vitamin D and exercise. We have stray neighborhood cats on our front porch that I have fed for the last six years while here and she even took it upon herself to feed them while we were away, She clearly loves all animals with all of her heart. We truly appreciate her and we already have our next out of town week booked for May and hope she is available. Thank you again for everything. Caroline, Robert & Penny

Heather loves animals and is a pet mom to several of her own dogs and cats. Her number is on my short list of emergency contacts for if other dog sitters are here with my dogs and something comes up! Would recommend!

We've known Heather for several years and she's amazing with animals-patient, caring, and confident. Our dogs can be standoffish, taking a while to warm up, but Heather takes the time to help them feel comfortable. We trust Heather with our fur babies and our home, knowing they're safe, loved, and well cared for in our absence.
